VRMMO no Shien Shokunin ～Top Player no Shikakenin～

Chapter 28: BBS before and after the event ends

So here it is. That’s the end of the first arc.

For those wondering about the aura, that’ll be explained along with the start of the 2nd arc.

Just for the record, the author made mistakes with the comment numbering in the BBS throughout the chapter and I had to manually fix them. If I made a mistake in the process or I missed any, feel free to point it out in the comments.

As I previously stated, I’ll now proceed to start working on Bu ni Mi again, but I’m not sure when the chapter will be out or if you’ll see more VRMMO chapters soon. I’ll see what I can do.

Hope you have enjoyed the series so far, enjoy the chapter.

「And…this is the thread for the event after it ended」 (Shuuhei)

「I can sort of guess what’s in it without looking but…I’ll take a look」 (Wataru)

It would be a pain to take out my own smartphone so I just borrowed Shuuhei’s.

Well, let’s just skim through the really harsh bits. It would be bad for my mental health.

【Throw stones】Subjugation event ranking thread 6【at Samael】

This is a thread to talk about the rankings in the on-going event.

If you are not interested in the rankings and just want to chill and collect materials, please head to the 『Thread to talk about the event』.

Ignore the trolls and be well mannered.

Since there will be a fast flood of comments during the event, the next thread will be made once we reach >>900 comments.

Fir- lol

The knight in 2nd place in the attack rankings finally did it! lol

333：Nameless mage　ID：9QXZ2kM

17437 lmao

No way lol

352：Nameless light warrior　ID：EzZPL2j

Eh?

This probably means a BAN, right?

366：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：EURpkCX

Sacrifice

…Sacrifice (whispering)

371：Nameless archer　ID：RWiKgG7

C H E A T C O N F I R M E D

380：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：W7RR9hR

They are so dumb for seriously doing it

388：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：Nzpm7nh

I lost my motivation

「……」 (Wataru)

「Wa-! Wacchi, my smartphone is going to break! I know how you feel! I really do! But calm down!」 (Shuuhei)

「Ah, sorry」 (Wataru)

I should go and make my judgement after reading various replies in the thread.

I picked the most appropriate messages within the flow of messages and it was something like that.

There was 1 Shinto priest that realized it was possible for it to have been the Sacrifice skill but since the messages flowed really quickly no one paid attention to him.

That’s how it would turn out since it’s something they probably haven’t seen…

「Just endure it for a bit longer. Though it was like that until Thursday…」 (Shuuhei)

「It was after this right? When they participated in the event’s final act and the videos were released」 (Wataru)

You could change the point of view in the released video, it was an overhead view where you could see the four of us, but the camera did move arbitrarily on its own.

What was not added was our voices, but you could understand it with a single glance because the buffs・debuffs and our status was shown.

You could limit the amount of information that was released to the public, but in order to dispel their doubts, we had the resolution to leave everything in the open.

If there are people that still doubt us after watching this, it would be just people that think they know more than other players.

701：Nameless light warrior　ID：FbpDwf8

It just ended normally with Maou-chan naming those in 1st place though…

722：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：VKPkYgG

Yeah.

I can’t really accept this.

730：Nameless knight　ID：ay6XRMT

They probably won’t upload the video anyway…

732：Nameless mage　ID：xSteuFP

The fact that they did it unfairly would come to light after all.

734：Nameless martial artist　ID：8NK5Qez

@730

The video is up.

It has been released to the public.

737：Nameless heavy warrior ID：wWMzGaD

Eh?

738：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：DKVJQKS

No way lol.

739：Nameless archer　ID：m8T4AiB

I’ll go take a look!

「The flow has changed」 (Wataru)

「Mufufu. Wacchi, you are starting to grin, you know?」 (Shuuhei)

「You are the one doing it…I’ll keep reading」 (Wataru)

「OK!」 (Shuuhei)

770：Nameless knight　ID：P8RDJsp

Ah.

The knight and witch were cute…

I’m so jealous of those 2 guys in their party.

771：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：mHEHzbg

@770

That’s not what you should be looking at! lol

However, what’s with that sword lol

772：Nameless archer　ID：m8T4AiB

That’s too big to be called a sword.

Too big, too thick and heavy, furthermore…

773：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：mtRcY5U

@772

Yeah, she was basically approaching her limit there LMAO

She was kind of shaking there lol.

774：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：FTCYr2C

I see, so it was ok to arrange the weapon and make it bigger huh…

775：Nameless mage　ID：AY9LVHG

But if that knight had that much offensive power it pretty much confirms that it was first-rate too.

You know that it’s really difficult to craft one of those, right?

776：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：54axFgn

So they are lucky that they got a skilled crafter…

777：Nameless archer　ID：m8T4AiB

They also timed their buffs・debuffs cleanly.

It was a tactic played by the book.

That ninja? His shadow weaving was really effective.

778：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：EURpkCX

You are right that it was played by the book.

That S A C R I F I C E was unexpected!

That’s why I told you it was that!

779：Nameless martial artist　ID：swPcSQ4

@778

Eh? When?

780：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：EURpkCX

I said it @366!

Since no Shinto priest uses it no one has experienced it.

781：Nameless martial artist　ID：swPcSQ4

It can’t be helped, the messages were flowing really fast.

However, that was a blind spot that no one realized, huh?

782：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：EURpkCX

I think it’s pretty normal unless you are a support type Shinto priest.

I was curious about the skill because I’m a support type.

It would hurt me in various ways so I didn’t pick it up lol

You will be unable to get any other skills for a while after all! 10 SP is just way too much!

783：Nameless light warrior　ID：M3VQr6c

That Shinto priest guy did faint in agony after all…

I can’t blame him after being damaged by that DoT.

784：Nameless mage　ID：FFjW6nD

All the knight’s stats did transcend anything I’ve ever seen though.

It would have no real use in a normal fight though…I mean, continuous DPS is more important after all.

The duration of the buff is too short.

785：Nameless archer　ID：CHZfEpY

Furthermore, the Shinto priest would get no experience or drops.

There’s also this poor treatment of getting a death penalty with a 100% chance lol.

786：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：BbitUGE

The embodiment of self-sacrifice!

After hearing that, I’ve begun to think of that Shinto priest as some sort of buddha…

787：Nameless knight　ID：8ANLNnD

Well, you normally wouldn’t pick it up.

The job within a party of a Shinto priest when it comes to fighting strong monsters is to survive until the end after all.

788：Nameless archer　ID：8ANLNnD

However, with this, all the people that thought it was cheating will be gone.

789：Nameless knight　ID：iHZH4tS

Well yeah…

If it was me, I wouldn’t comment until I changed my ID.

In an act of shame.

790：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：Gk6FZd8

I did mostly lurk around since the messages were flowing really fast.

I was also aiming for the rankings so I kind of understand them.

However, attacking people is a no go.

Even more if it’s people you haven’t met yet.

791：Nameless archer　ID：k75NrWy

Once the cover was off, I was surprised that it was a beautiful player.

Because of those guys bashing them I had a bad image of them.

Well this might be a bit off-topic

Were there any elven ears equipment?

792：Nameless martial artist　ID：nGBJ9k4

Who knows?

I haven’t seen them so they are probably arranged?

793：Nameless Shinto priest　ID：54axFgn

There are no blueprints for the hat of that mage girl either you know?

794：Nameless archer　ID：k75NrWy

I see.

I wonder if they would sell me elven ears.

I think that when you think about bows, you would imagine an elf, right?

795：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：DBPhVfr

@794 Are you really going to say that elven ears would suit you?

796：Nameless archer　ID：k75NrWy

It would be hard for me to say it if you put it like that lol.

But I want to wear them!

797：Nameless mage　ID：n94WPci

They suited Yumir-chan really well!

The ideal dark elf.

She had nice style too.

That innocent expression of hers in the video was also good.

798：Nameless light warrior　ID：cNBRVxa

I prefer Riizu-chan who is small in various places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

799：Nameless knight　ID：DBc49di

Don’t shout like that so suddenly.

You are being noisy.

800：Nameless light warrior　ID：cNBRVxa

（I prefer Riizu-chan who is small in various places）

801：Nameless shinto priest　ID：8SKWVpF

(Her having a mole under her eye is quite sexy, right! Her cold reproachful eyes are nice too…)

802：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：DBfCh9c

These guys are too far gone…!

803：Nameless martial artist　ID：nGBJ9k4

Hey, I heard that they made a thread about Yumir-chan.

It was called 「Thread to praise Hero-chan」 lol.

804：Nameless mage　ID：n94WPci

!?

805：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：DBfCh9c

The people of that thread had some rivalry with the people of the Maou-chan thread LMAO

806：Nameless archer　ID：hZaSwwB

They were so quick! LOL

We shouldn’t put NPCs and players in the same category lol.

「……」 (Wataru)

「Wacchi」 (Shuuei)

「Yup. The way they treat us is way worse than the girls and there are various things I want to say but…」 (Wataru)

「「Take that!!!」」

Well, this was quite refreshing. This feels quite good.

Though, we actually had nothing to feel ashamed of.

「Wacchi. You are glad that you saw it, right?」 (Shuuhei)

「Yeah, it’s just as you have said. This is the type of joy you can share with others, it makes you want to show them as soon as possible」 (Wataru)

「Right?」 (Shuuhei)

「But Shuuhei…seems like lessons are about to start」 (Wataru)

「Eh!?」 (Shuuhei)

「It’s about time they begin…」 (Wataru)

The moment I took a look at Shuuhei’s smartphone it was nearly time for them to begin.

When I urged him to take a look at the clock in the school building, Shuuhei started to turn pale.

I left him like that and started running.

We won’t make it at this rate!

「We are running!」 (Wataru)

「Wait! Wait Wacchi!!」 (Shuuhei)

I sprinted with all my might and tidied up the tools, I’ll leave these for later.

…After that, we somehow made it in time.

However, since we were panting, our classmates looked at us in a weird way for a while.

We were too absorbed in reading the BBS…I’m glad that we weren’t late.
